PG&E is warning customers about a surge in scams after fraudsters stole more than $211,000 from customers in the first half of the year using fake QR codes and threats to disconnect service. The utility giant said customers are on pace to lose roughly 30% more money to scammers in 2026 than they did last year as criminals become increasingly sophisticated in impersonating employees. The scammers typically contact customers by phone, text message or email, falsely claiming their utility bill is overdue and threatening to shut off electricity or gas service unless immediate payment is made.
